Security researchers from the threat research team at Cato Networks have identified a new threat: the IoT botnet “Ballista”. This malware exploits a serious vulnerability in TP-Link Archer routers to spread unhindered across the internet.
Various cyber security agencies and authorities such as the FBI, the Cyber National Mission Force (CNMF), the NSA and the NCSC have uncovered a botnet with more than 260,000 devices worldwide.
